To Nigel RIP
My friend Nigel died recently. I met him when I was at school, and learning about jazz. He was a jazz fan of many years, so he introduced me to new areas of jazz.
Apart from listening to his records, we went to jazz gigs of course, also to the cinema, and just out for a drink.
Unfortunately he moved away before I left school, but he left a deep impression on me. RIP Nigel.

Brilliant! A marvellous book. A fascinating journey through the etymology of hundreds of words, with some lost words which deserve a return to our vocabularies. I recommend it to anyone who has ever pondered: "Where did that word come from?" . ...more |

“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
